ACCOMMODATION

It is strongly recommended that you reserve all your accommodation as far in advance as possible if you plan to visit during the peak seasons (i.e. big game safaris between July & October, the Cape between December & March and Christmas & Easter everywhere) since availability is at a premium during these periods.

On safari acceptance of a simple lifestyle is required. Any reference to tented accommodation generally suggests a spacious, walk-in tent with proper beds, clothes hanging facilities, toilet, shower and sometimes a veranda, although some are more basic with shared showers and long drop loos. However some camps are very much more sophisticated with truly luxurious comforts like private plunge pools, air-conditioning, indoor and outdoor showers, crystal glass and silver cutlery etc.

You may be required to sign an indemnity form at some of the camps, depending on camp policy. This is standard procedure in most lodges, as it is in all hotels throughout the world.

Hotel check in times are between 12.00 and 14.00 and check out times are usually around 11.00.
